Our Next Fair. - The Eighteenth Annual Fair of the Noble County Agricultural Society will be held on the grounds of the Society, near Ligonier, on the 23d, 24th, 25th and 26th of September. An exchange says the anmual meetings for comparison of theories, experi-. ments and results are of great benefit to the agricultural and mechanical pertion of our country, and could be made still more interesting and beneficial, if all who are concerned were to lend -their aid and contribute something to the common good. ‘ ~ The Fairs heretofore held by the Society have been excellent, but they can be made mucli better, and more and more attractive; and, as a matter of course, of more utility, if each one will bring in and place upon exlfibition their fine stock and samples of superior productions of any kind, either agricultural or mechanical. This will not only add interest to the Fairs, but it will beget a spirit of generous ‘ emulation and rivalry among the va-ll rious exhibitors which will, in and of | itself, produce the most substantial and happy results. I The officers and managers of the Society are doing all within their power to make the approaching Fair superior, in every respect, to any of its predecessors, and if their laudable efforts are properly seconded by the farmers and mechaniecs and producers of the | county, we are sure they will succeed. Let every one unite in their efforts to make the Annual Fair of 1873 one long to be remembered.

—Mr. William Roderick, of the Hawpateh, informs us that while we had: several refreshing showers here during the past week they had scarcely rain enough to lay the dust, and that the corn crop will be materially -affected by the drouth, much, of it being too far matured to be greatly improved by rains that may come hereaftér. .~Postage on county papers has created quite a riffle, but most of the farmers pay up cheerfully—especially on “the lively BANNER.” - It would be a small fry that would go back on a paper for twenty cents postage. The time and place to go back on any one is at the next Congressional election, ‘on the men who voted to tax the. farmer in this way for his home paper. —The public schools of this place were-opened last Monday, 7. e, this.side of the river.

The teachers for that part of town are Mrs. Nellie Couts and Miss Mary Beachr~ - ° : —Only two weeks from next Tuesday until our Fair commences. It is hoped that our farmers, and more es—pecially the ladies, will come up to tle work and see that Floral Hall is made even more attractive than ever before. Let every lady in both town and country make and enter at least one article,, and as many more. ‘as possible,” for competition; and let every farmer bring in samples of his wheat; oats, corn, fruits, ete. Get your articles ready and resolve to make the display in eévery department far exceed that of any previous year. ~Hunting parties should bear in mind that the last Legislature enacted a law, which was approved March 7th, 1873, “to prevent hunting and shooting on inclosed lands without the consent of theowner o{ oceupant thereof.” The law declares “ hat any person or persons who shall e guilty of hunting with a dog or dogs, or hunting or shooting with any kind of firearm or firearms, on inclosed lands, without the consent of the owner or oceupant thereof, shall be deemed guilty of a ‘misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than five, nor more than fifty doll lays,” e eg i b < s

OUR LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. . KENDALLVILLE. - The following sentiment of the great poet will probably govern' me in my dealings with “Pole-cat:” Lay on, McDuff, = And damned be he who first cries ‘Hold, enough !’ “Pole-cat” Myers last week referred to his predecessor in the post-office. He wishes to convey the idea that the ex-postmaster was the same dissipated man then that he is now, and that the sad condition of his family is not the direct result of his ejectment from his position as postmastér. To settle this question, we submit the following petition for Mr. Lisle’s retention : To the second Assigtant Post-Master-General, : Washinton, D. C.

f We, the undersigned business men ' of the city of Kendallville, Indiana, are | well pleased with Mr. Ed. Lisle’s conduct as postmaster at this place, and - would mest respectfully and earnestly ask that he be permitted to retain-the office nntil his commission expires by limitation, which will be Décember 1, 1873.

- Theforegoing list comprises almost every business man in the city of Kendallville, and I think all will readily come to the conclusion that the people preferred Ed. Lisle, drunk or sober, to “Pole-cat” Myers for postmaster of Kendallville. o John Q. A. Graham, of Allen township, last Saturday lost his pocket-book, containing $95. . - A little child of Lewis Tddings died on Saturday evening last. ¥ Who is the local editor of the Standard? Is. it “Pole-cat,” or Miller? Please answer.. The re-union of the 1209th regiment, announceéd for this place last Friday, was not a success. g The frame-work ofesthe Lutheran church steeple is up. e The Spiritualists of this place still continue their meetings, and claim that their “manifestations” are good. During one of their seances not long sincela foot was captured by omne of the party that sat around the table.— This foot was making “raps,” and what is quite strange, no one seems to claim it. It had a gaiter on it. One thing is certain, it was not MeMillian’s foot. Mrs. Finley Beazel visited Kendallville last week. : The lecture delivered during the Institufenpon the North Pole, was good. Pole-Cat Myers denounces every business man who does not advertise in the Standard; and it is generally understood that to be free from his insinuations, you must fee him. : A good many scholars of our school were disappointed in not being promoted on last Mond:y. : . Jacob Sommer was here on Tuesday settling his beer account with the deputy revenue collector. Dr. Carr was here on the 29th,'he being one of the soldiers of the 129th regiment. - : Guss Frink fed his cow Salt-petre. It saved her, but he was without milk for several days.

HAWPATCH.. . -No more burglaries on the Patch.— Peace reigns once more in all her “splendor and glory.” ; . We have a little railroad excitement in our midst to relieve the monotony of ‘these pacific times. Dr. Allen is here and assures us that'the Canada Southern will be built on the Hatpatch line. Mr. Gale has offered seventy acres of his lands for depot and machine shop purposes, and the Company want 70 acres more. All we want to make the Hawpateh a Garden of Eden are a féew more Gales. : Crusan has built an addition to his grocery. Jake means business, but he would flourish still better if he wags a patron of the BANNER. Corn promises a fair crop; apples are -abundant; farmers have commenced sowing wheat. : :

We met.our friend Jonathan Smucker, of Stark county, a few weeks ago. He looks hale and hearty. Mr. Williams is here with Dr. Allen, trying to buy Christ. Hooley’s farm.— I don’t believe they will be able to reach Christ. as yet. e The many old friends and former neighbors of John F. MecDevitt were delighted to hear from him once again through the columis of the BANNER. Let’s have some more, friend John.' Uncle George Swank, who is over 80 years of age, was married (for the third time) one day last week. How truthful the old adage: “The older the buck, &e.” : i R . For the benefit of thieves who may contemplate a raid in this direction, we beg leave to remark that our musket is constantly loaded with a handful of buckshot which will break a turkey’s leg at a distance of fQrty rods. el OBSERVER.
